Gov. John Hickenlooper hasn’t pulled ahead in the polls, but he continues to outpace Republican challenger Bob Beauprez in campaign cash. In the reporting period from Sept. 24 to Sept. 29, the governor raised $311,109 to push his re-election campaign total to nearly $4.5 million.

Beauprez’s camp raised $199,899 during the period, and, so far, just under $1.16 million, along with a $527,000 loan he gave to his campaign. The Republican nominee has $263,375 left in his war chest, while Hickenlooper has $360,289.
